Celebrities are like canaries in a coal mine. Their financial disasters and opportunities are amplified and played out in the public eye, but the underlying principles that lead to their success or failure should be heeded by every individual, no matter the size of his or her fortune.

In this episode of The Money Guy Show, we unpack the successes and failures of celebrities like Lebron James, Melissa McCarthy, Billy Joel, and more. Let’s look at what they got right, where they went wrong, and how you can implement these lessons to make the most of your own finances.
